The most damaging DNC emails that have come to light were exchanged late in the primary, only after Hillary Clinton was clearly headed for victory. It’s no secret that the DNC wanted the primary to be over and for Sanders to concede and declare his support for Hillary so she could focus on Trump. No big surprise there. More importantly, there’s no indication that the DNC actually did anything to undermine Sanders. There’s lots of smoke here but not much fire. The GOP will have a lot of fun with these, and Sanders’ people will try to gain some leverage to move the DNC on the rules of the convention (e.g., the role of superdelegates) or the platform, but I don’t see any lasting damage from this flap.
 
Democrats For Life is a non-profit organization representing the views of 21 million pro-life Democrats. We are a national coalition seeking to promote the pro-life position within the Democratic Party and to support pro-life Democrats seeking political office. We promote a consistent ethic of life and consequently oppose abortion, euthanasia and capital punishment. We also advocate for policies that promote the protection of life, and support families, such as the Pregnant Women Support Act (Pregnancy Assistant Fund) and others.

Regarding abortion, we believe that the answer to a crisis pregnancy is to eliminate the crisis—not the child.

We don’t believe women should have to “choose” between motherhood and a decent, safe life. We believe it is going to take emphasis on the support side, which Democrats are good on, to truly give women real choice. A livable wage, affordable children care, paid leave, and flexible hours all help families who are faced with an unplanned or planned pregnancy.

I’m inclined to agree. However that hasn’t stopped from Sanders people from jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon despite their own candidate’s calls to support Clinton. I’m sure they’ll try to make the first night as interesting as the anti-Trump people did for the RNC.

So these children must die until everyone accepts the far left agenda? Sounds like extortion to me. Hint;we will never end abortion unless people quit voting for people who have vowed to keep it legal.

DNC Email Leaks Show Racist Outreach to Latinos Called “Taco Bowl Engagement”

So the Democrats call Hispanics, taco bowls.

DNC uses their own words to destroy themselves. This is what they think of their supporters.

Hours before the DNC Convention convenes, this email is found within the Wikileaks email blast sent out on Friday and it comes straight from the DNC.

So according to three top Cyber security companies that NBC has spoken with, it’s looking almost certain that Russia was behind the hacks of the DNC.

I think that McCarthyist tactics would have been necessary to stop Bernie Sanders. I am glad that some in the DNC would work to stop socialism from spreading to this country. This is a flashback to the Kennedy and Truman days for the party.

No. This is a flashback to the 1968 convention when they ware rebelling. I k ow because I was that certain age that saw it. Proves history repeats itself. Socialism’s aims are to divide, not unite

Yes, but it was the Dems who claimed they have party unity.

Any Democrat claiming party unity has had their head in the sand or has been completely underestimating some of Sanders more dedicated supporters.

Did they write the emails?

No, but at the same time the fact that Russia is apparently attempting to influence our election is more than tad disturbing given their aggressive expansionist attitude of late.

So Russia is trying to influence the election by releasing emails of the DNC trying to influence the primary election. ? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Well the latter is normal, the former is not. I mean the RNC tried to do the same. They just didn’t succeed in getting their whacky outsider ousted.

It makes me wonder if foreign governments are in ways great and small surreptitiously trying to influence our elections all the time.
